Description
Aromatic 200 ND (Naphthalene Depleted) is a high-purity, heavy aromatic solvent composed mainly of C11–C12 aromatic hydrocarbons with a controlled naphthalene content of 1% maximum by weight. It provides strong solvency, a high flash point (200°F / 93°C minimum), and a slow evaporation rate, making it ideal for formulations requiring extended open times and uniform film formation.
Key Applications :-
Industrial and High-Build Coatings: Used as a slow-evaporating carrier and leveling agent in heavy-duty industrial coatings, oil-modified alkyds, and baked or air-dry finishes to prevent brush marks and improve flow
Agricultural Chemicals: Serves as a primary carrier solvent for emulsifiable concentrates (EC), pesticides, and herbicide formulations.
Printing Inks: Utilized in screen printing, PVC inks, and specialized offset/rotogravure inks where slow drying and high solvency for resins are needed
Fuel and Oilfield Additives: Acts as a chemical intermediate or solvent base in oilfield/refinery chemicals and fuel-treatment formulations.
Industrial Cleaning & Process Fluids: Employed in heavy-soil cleaning, degreasing formulations, process oils, foundry resins, and corrosion inhibitors.
Adhesives and Sealants: Functions as a solvency-enhancer in specialized adhesive systems.
